Intertape Polymer Group (IPG), a global packaging and protective solutions provider, announced that its manufacturing facility in Chicago, Ill., has been awarded gold certification under the Total Resource Use and Efficiency (TRUE) rating system.
The TRUE certification is administered by Green Business Certification Inc. and helps facilities measure and improve zero-waste performance. The Chicago facility has demonstrated its dedication to best practices in recycling, reusing and reducing waste, achieving a 91.6% diversion rate by recycling materials such as plastics and cardboard. The facility also implemented composting, transitioned to paperless office functions and developed systems that emphasize reuse.
“We are extremely proud of the TRUE Zero Waste certification obtained by our Chicago facility,” says Jay Bolus, vice president of sustainability at IPG. “Achieving gold level certification marks an important milestone on our journey to become a zero-waste company and is further proof of IPG’s commitment to sustainable products and processes.”
